I am on stock eb13 i am trying to get it from day one
[Epic 4G General] mnanez5280:
Actually.... just checked and it says that there is no PRL update (current prl is 60676).

Before update.zip, I would get an "unknown error" everytime I tried to update Framework, Profile or PRL.

Weird that it's telling me that there is no PRL update.

Noob Install and Definition Question

What does odin'ed mean???

I'm on Factory DI18 can anybody post the exact steps I need to follow to install the update over USB from Castro please?
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Default EC05 update.zip *Direct Google download!*

http://android.clients.google.com/pa...DI18ToEC05.zip

(Obviously this is for going from stock DI18 to EC05. Don't know if/when a EB13 to EC05 update will be made so don't ask lol)

Rename the file to “update.zip”

Move the file to the root of your SD card on the Epic 4G

Shutdown your Epic 4G

Boot your phone into Recovery Mode

(Push and hold the the Volume Down Button, the Camera Button, and the Power Button altogether until recovery mode displays.)

Use Volume Down button to hightlight “apply sdcard:update.zip”.

Press the “Home” soft key to select.

(Special thanks to castro08 for getting the info we needed! )

[Epic 4G General] evilsock:

if so can someone post a link? i cant find the file to dl18

edit, nm found how to get back to stock dl18, so i still need answers to my above questionn tho
[Epic 4G General] castro08:


Yess that is correct, and I'm on my phone so I can't post it but it in the development section and it "how to return back to stock from brick epic" something along those lines
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:

[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Thanks castro for all your efforts!
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
If it the tar file and it 255 mb or arund there you don't need a pit, but I think the pit is victory_8pit or something like that, and tha comes with odin
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:
sweet its 255mb so i dont need the pit file. and the dl18 to ec05 is 91.5mb right?

just rename to update.zip and flash in stock recovery and ill be good right?

thanks for help yall.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Yes sir seems like your good to go you have both files,

F.y.I. if the update zip dosnt work try namine it update or update.

worked like a charm.

now how do i root ec05?:D:D:D:D:D:D:confused:
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Ha glad it worked! Fell free to hit the thank you button

And I beleave one click root 2.5.5 works
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:
u have been thanked ! thanks!!!

is this ext4 stock or will i need to convert?

if so , do u have a link on how to?

p.s. there was a small update.zip on my sd i didnt put there. its 1.28mb any ideas ?
[Epic 4G General] castro08:


No its not ex4 you ned to convert but idk if it possiable yet, I may be wrong, but I'm still not by a computer, but it a sticky in the development section, so it should be on the 1st page

Hah ohh I have no idea if you read this post from the begging you would see that I posted the 1.29. And wellllll just read its funny
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:
it looks like some voicemail update, should i flash it? or u think whatever it is was in this update?. bc i def didnt put it on there. i just got my epic a few days ago so i havent done alot.

so i shouldnt try and convert to ext 4 yet?

last question. can i just rename sprint id to .bak instead of .apk to get rid of it ? or are there more files that have to do with it?
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
2.5.5 worked easily for me
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:

hey, i cant un-install anything. it just hangs on uninstallng bar, ive tried from market and from menu/settings/apps/mannage apps

did i fudge something up rooting with that method?
[Epic 4G General] pasalo:
To have a complete restore:

-- Adding to what Catro08 posted

Since CWM 2.5.5 worked for me for backup and restore:

- If one has a complete backup from CWM 2.5.5 of DI18

- boot in CWM, after Ec05 update - go to backup and restore

- select advance restore

- select restore Data

It will do its work and restore everything

Now you are back with ALL your stuff just like before DI18, but now EC05
[Epic 4G General] bmmccoy007:
So, I Odin'd back to DI18. Once I did, 5 minutes later my phone said it needed to update. I would suggest that if you are willing to Odin back to DI18, you will be able to update to EC05.

Did you ever get a text msg like this one?
[Epic 4G General] Mitch00:
Remember guys Google is pushing the OTA, not sprint or samsung...its not where you live but where you are on the google queue...for android its been suggested by gizmodo

To get your phone into the queue right away, dial *#*#checkin#*#*, substituting the dial pad numbers for the letters.

hope this helps Im still waiting too
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
The phone doesn't seem to do anything when putting that in. I am not sure if it is valid.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Ok Castro, whens its done and prompts you to install, immediately mount your sd card on your computer and look for a folder called cache, and a file called update.zip. It should be much larger than 2mb.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
no i never got a text sorry

well it just prompted me to install now and i clicked install later but when i look in my sd card there no cahce folder and all i see is that 1.29 mb update zip please help
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Its most likely hidden, connect to computer and look for it...
[Epic 4G General] Ree$e:
I just got the text!
[Epic 4G General] gorby911:
If you ODINed back to DI18 - I wonder if what you are seeing is an update to Sprint voice mail that they are pushing to all DI18s rather than EC05 OTA.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Castro, did you mount your SD card to your computer via USB cable?
[Epic 4G General] klownin816:
Also try moving that small update.zip file off your sd card and see if you can redownload.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's in the system cache folder. Not on the SD. You can use Root Explorer or ADB to pull it.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
He has to One Click Root to do that, right?
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
no i know it not the voice mail im not that dumb

its called MR4 EC05 system update and it 91.5 mb big
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Its legit. You are getting the real EC05 update.

Try looking in your system cache folder. Run One Click Root 2.5.1.2 (RFS version) and download a File Manager like Astro from the Market.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
No, I believe Root Explorer will let him have access to the cache. It won't let him write to that directory if he's not rooted, but he just needs to copy the file.
[Epic 4G General] gorby911:
Sorry, I did not imply at all that you are "dumb", please don't take my comment offensively. I just know that as soon as I flashed back to DI18 I got that voice mail update message so just wanted to check with you. Didn't mean to imply anything other than what I posted. Thanks for all the extra effort on trying to pull the update for everyone.
[Epic 4G General] danweb66:
if you pm me i will help you get this off your phone and upload it. thats if you do not want to root and everything else.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Root Explorer is a paid app though.

If he obtains root, he should be able to use Astro to access it. That may not even be necessary though I'm not 100% sure.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
sorry everyone for taking so long ive never done this

but im going to try root explore

thanks for everyones help

[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
If you purchased root explorer, go ahead and try to access the system cache without rooting.

[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:

That program should work nicely for what you need Castro. It will be in your root folder, under /cache. Inside that you should see a few more folders, and an update.zip file.

I say leave the poor guy castro08 alone, you are asking him to jump thru hoops, spend money on a program and do something he may not understand to well. Yes he can return the root explorer, but it might take him more than 15min to find the file and upload it, and if the upload fails and he trys to copy it again, he might pass his 15min limit.

Geez, just wait, you will eventually get it - on the other hand, if he castro08 has the time and is willing to help then thats cool.
